Doggy style

For those who don't know, I work at my mom's dog grooming shop "Abark Above Grooming," as a dog washer. My job is very glamorous and results in me having to wear a metallic blue waterproof apron and there is always dog hair somewhere in/ or around my eye area.

Anyway, it's just a temporary job seeing as how I'm working myself through school and it sure kicks the shit out of a boring cashier job. Sometimes half the battle is just putting up with my mom, but the cute dogs and lack of human contact on a minute by minute basis make it easier. This might sound a little fucked in the head, but I honestly believe that the world would be a better place is everyone just owned a dog.

So after that heartfelt confession I'm going to grace you with some funny pictures I found on my moms camera, enjoy!

A poodle puppy coming in for her very first haircut! Obviously this is a BEFORE pic, but she's so cute and reminds me of a teddy bear.

A pissed off cat. People sometimes can't believe that we groom cats, but there are some batshit crazy human's who want us to shave their cats entirely (as a way of managing the hair,) so we gotta do what we gotta do.

This is a Maltese named Kahlua. She's named after an alcoholic beverage soooo it's safe to say that her owner is probably inebriated 24'7. I say this because her only requests when she brings in her dog once a month is : "Keep her as long as you can! And put those cute bows in her hair!" Soo impractical, but still cute.

This is a Mastiff which is roughly the size of a baby elephant. I just though this was a very ~candid shot~

Same dog only this time he's yawning and making another WILD N'KR4ZY FACE! For some reason I recollect in the middle of brushing him my mom grabbing her camera and saying "Man that was a good one!" Yeah Barb I guess you're right.
